Heber Carl Jentzsch (born November 30, 1935) has served as president of the Church of Scientology International since 1982. He has not been seen publicly since 2004.〔(The troubled life of Scientology president's son ), ''Daily Mail'', 8 July 2012.〕 ==Biography== Heber Jentzsch was born in 1935 in Salt Lake City〔() ''Village Voice'', 10 July 2012.〕〔()〕 and grew up in a Mormon family, and identified himself as a "believing Mormon". He is the son of polygamist Carl Jentzsch (who was excommunicated from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints)〔 and Carl's third wife Pauline; Heber has 42 siblings.〔"Scientologists march on courthouse", UPI 20.5.1985〕 While Heber Jentzsch was never baptized into The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, his first name was inspired by the Latter-day Saint apostle Heber C. Kimball.〔 Jentzsch was educated at Weber College in Ogden, Utah and the University of Utah, where he graduated in 1959 with a degree in communications.〔"Utah-Born Scientology President Says the Religion Saved His Life", ''The Salt Lake Tribune'', 9.12.1992〕〔(University of Utah Alumni Association, April 2004 )〕 He also studied Eastern religions.〔Jentzsch biography in John Naisbitt, ''High Tech High Touch: Technology and Our Accelerated Search for Meaning'', p. 253. Nicholas Brealey Publishing, 2004.〕 Before his involvement with Scientology, which he joined in 1967, Jentzsch was a journalist with the ''Los Angeles Free Press'' and an actor, having a bit part in the movie ''Paint Your Wagon''. The Internet Movie Database lists Jentzsch with one credited acting appearance, a small part playing a Nazi in one episode of the 1960s television series ''Combat!'', and with an uncredited role in the movie ''1776''. According to Jentzsch, two events of his life were pivotal: the arrest of his father in 1955, and himself being cured in the Scientology Purification Rundown from radiation burns he had suffered from since he was 15.〔 On July 2, 2012, Alexander Jentzsch (Heber Jentzsch's son with Karen de la Carriere) died after an accident. De la Carriere stated that she had not seen Alexander for 2 years, because she was shunned from him after it was revealed she had been criticizing the Church. She also revealed he was suffering from pneumonia at the time he died, and painkillers had been used to mask his pain, rather than the usual treatment of antibiotics. Alexander was 27 at the time of his death. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Heber Jentzsch」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
